Chemical Compatibility Chart
The chemical composition and temperature of the process fluid must be considered in order to ensure the integrity of the filter bag in the application. Certain Chemicals and temperature combinations can cause degradation of the filtration media, resulting in bag failure and downstream contamination.
The following chart provides a general listing of the temperature and chemical compatibilities for our standard product offerings.
